Barbarians

The Barbarians were a strong Germanic tribe who originated in Eastern Europe in 4000 BCE, a precursor to the Vikings. The Barbarians were raiders who pillaged local counties from North America all the way to Asia, and were exterminated by the start of the 11th century.

History
Back in the Greek era, the term "barbaroi" originated, describing "outsiders", or anybody who had not yet embraced civilization. The barbarians were not led by a common commander, instead divided into raiding parties led by their own captains. They generally wore animal pelts that they had taken, and wielded steel weapons or wooden clubs, and were more like un-evolved cave men. They were also not of any one nationality, as they appeared in encampments across the globe harassing empires. They were at eternal war with the kingdoms, and it took thousands of years to root out the barbarians from their camps and destroy them, a task that was facilitated by the rise of the Roman Empire.
